How to Watch The Day of the Doctor Live and Afterwards


It's The Day of the Doctor and the episode will be shown in many countries, both on TV and in the cinema but with just 6 hours to go, some people still aren't sorted for their viewing habits.

The best way to watch it is live on your own TV. Check out this list to see which channels to view it in your country.

But a lot of people won't be able to watch it on BBC1, BBC America or anywhere else. They'll be required to either stream it online or watch it afterwards so here's are the top ways to stream it live online:

Please note that regardless of your online viewing method, it is delayed, so you'll probably find out via Twitter/Facebook/Chatbox up to a minute or two before it comes through.
  • I've collected together a few online streaming sites and embeds. You can access this here.
    • It says it on the front page, but I'll say it here. A LOT of free online sites put up tons of adverts that are a pain. Make sure you have Adblock installed, and look out for the close button (the X's) on any popups/adverts that may appear. Some sites are a real stinker.
    • If you wish to chat, please create a Chatango account. I will most likely block anons as it will get extremely crowded.
  • Use Hola Unblocker or Media Hint to access the iPlayer BBC 1 live stream.
    • Please note, that these are not recommended due to privacy concerns. They work by routing all your traffic through their servers. Servers and bandwidth need to be paid for and the only thing they have from you is all your activity through their services. If you use them, install it for the stream and uninstall afterwards.

If time zones are confusing you, you can click here to immediately compare time zones and your local time.

Of course, people don't just want to watch it live. They'll want to see it afterwards too. Never fear! The Doctor is here!

There are numerous ways you can watch it officially, the main choices are:

  • Apple iTunes
  • Amazon Instant Video
  • Barnes & Noble
  • Google Play
  • Microsoft XBOX Video
  • Samsung Hub
  • Sony PSN
  • VDIO
  • Vudu 

As usual, we will put up download and streaming links however (also as usual), the priority will be on getting the episode up to stream and download on Doctor Who Media. Please register now because we will undoubtedly be swarmed with traffic and therefore we will need to close signups and perhaps even need to take further action. (Also, don't keep refreshing. Each refresh takes resources and hundreds of people doing it at once will affect site performance.)

To keep things simple, we have three domains you can use for yourselves and to link people that will automatically inform and redirect people as and when it is appropriate. These are here, here and here.

Please note: I'm going to be at viewing party for the broadcast, and therefore not at home. The special is also a lot longer than it is normally. Both of these mean that the episode will, more than likely, be uploaded later than usual, although I will try my best. Apologies. (FYI, complaining about it won't help anyone. It'll just annoy the regulars and me. Cheers.)

Those people who are after An Adventure in Space and Time, yes it is coming. I'm just finding it hard to find the time to do it. There's a whole bunch of 50th Anniversary stuff I have to put up.

Pour les fans français qui trainent dans le coin et qui comme moi n'auraient pas la télévision, l'episode est diffusé sur France4 à 20h50 mais également sur Pluzz (le service de VOD et Direct) qui depuis octobre permet de mettre en VO.

For the french fan around who doesn't have TV like me, know that France4 will air the episode at 8:50 (France) and on Pluzz (VOD and Live service) wich allow you to switch to the original version (without the french dub) since october.

You need a TV license to access the BBC livestream. :/

There is a lovely little program called Tunnel Bear that is reasonably priced that comes in very handy to watch TV programs from other countries. Google it.

NikkiJean said...

the day of the doctor will be released on dec 10th on amazon so near that time or before

Hanna VK said...

Wait - are you saying that's when iTunes will be getting it?
...I highly doubt they'd wait that long - quite a few of the fans will have gotten it via unofficial sources by then.

Absolutely devastating... not a single cinema here shwos it and nto a single channel, even expensive sub offers it.
No online site let you stream it from here.
So im stuck for another 2-3 weeks to find a decent DVD copy illegally unfortunately.

I'm glad you posted this. SO many sites I've found have purported to know where to watch online and have linked to the sites where you can, except those sites are only showing previews. It's sad it took me about three hours to find someone who gave a straight answer - that full online viewing has been delayed - but I'm glad you did.

Azaelia Bearson said...

It's tomorrow and I still can't find it. :(
